Front Office Policies and Procedures

 

Attendance Essentials (Click here)

If your student is absent, a notification must be made IN WRITING within 5 days of absence. 

Please note: We are unable to excuse an absence based on a phone call. 

*Students who miss more than 10 minutes of class are considered absent.*

If you have a question regarding  your students attendance there are 3 methods to address it:

1. Email -  Attendance Clerk David Hood: david.hood@rockwallisd.org

2. Google Forms in English and Spanish - Scan the QR Codes with your phone to access the form, the codes are located in the poster marquee to the left of the Front Office entrance and also below.
***Questions will be answered as soon as possible within 24 hours.

English                     Spanish

3. Phone - 972-772-1170  Ext 5103 (Ask for Attendance Office)

Unexcused absences are marked with an A or U in Skyward. 

  • To avoid truancy, students should return to school with documentation from either a parent/guardian or doctor.

  • Parents/Guardians will begin receiving truancy notification letters after your student’s 3rd unexcused absence. 

Please submit your student’s absence notes one of three ways:

  • Email attendance david.hood@rockwallisd.org  (*Best method!)

  • Skyward Family Access (parent written notes only)

  • Note signed by parent/guardian or a doctor’s note turned into front office

Entering a parent note in Skyward:

  • Open Skyward and select the attendance tab 

  • Absence Request link at the top right of the Attendance Page 

  • Add a request for the intended student

  • Check “All Day” for a full day absence 

  • Uncheck “All Day” for a partial day absence 

  • Save to submit

Ways to Stay Informed:

  • Monitor your student’s attendance 

  • Students/parents should contact their teachers to address attendance concerns 

  • Check email provided to Skyward for notifications regarding attendance.

***Parents: Make sure to add a valid email address to your Skyward account for notifications and messages from Cain Middle School.
